“But you can have a try at the market near Lihua street in the northern part of the city. I lived there last year. In the morning, there are always some people setting up stalls to sell some vegetables and other agricultural products at those markets. You need to avoid the working time of those city management officers, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For the rest of the time, city management officers usually do not interfere. Besides, you don’t have many things to sell, so if the they come, you can simply hide in a nearby alley with your things.” The aunt said so, warm-hearted, and then looked at He Xiyan and Chen Jiahang after that.

Handsome man and beautiful woman, they were indeed pleasant to eyes, Although the boy was a little dark, yet he got that kind of very healthy skin color, who seemed to bask in the sun often.

“Thank you, aunt.” He Xiyan quickly thanked her. With destination, they did not have to wander around aimlessly.

After finishing the noodles, He Xiyan searched the Lihua street referred to by the aunt on her mobile phone, and then found the bus route on a map app.

In order to save money, they had to go by bus. It was impossible for them to take a taxi, for that would cost dozens of yuan.

At one o’clock in the afternoon, they took No. 57 bus to Lihua street. After getting off, she asked Chen Jiahang to look after those things. She herself went to the market to have a look and asked others if there were any people setting up stalls here to sell things.

Finally, after confirming that farmers of the urban-rural fringe often came to sell things in the morning and evening, she then left confidently assured and returned to the place where they got off.

There, Chen Jiahang was pacing anxiously, seemingly very nervous and worried. Sweating all over, he kept gazing at the direction where He Xiyan left.

He Xiyan saw him anxious from afar. She knew that he was worried about her safety, or worried that she would run away and go missing, leaving him alone.

She pulled a paper tissue out of her bag, wiping the sweat off his forehead, and then patted him on the face.

This childlike innocent man was really worried about her.

“Jiahang, we have to find a motel, where we’re going to rest tonight.” He Xiyan said so. Looking around, she found two hotels, which should be expensive. They, however, could only find a small motel.

After walking seven to eight hundred meters into an alley, they finally saw a small motel , which, located in the residential area, might only have twenty rooms.

They came to the front desk of the hotel and were received by a woman in her thirties.

Seeing them coming, the landlady appeared quite enthusiastic, full of smiles.

“You two want to book a room? Our house has a good environment, with both air conditioning and computers. The sheets and quilts are changed every day. Besides, it’s not expensive. An ordinary single room only costs 68 yuan per night.”

The landlady did her best to recommend.

“Is there a double room?” He Xiyan asked. The environment of the hotel was still just-so-so and the price was not high. The most important thing was that it was close to the food market, so it was convenient for them to carry things there.

“Double room!” The landlady clicked on the keyboard and looked at the computer screen. But soon she shook her head and said, “Sorry, sister, double rooms have all been booked. There is only one ordinary single room left. aren’t you husband and wife?”

The landlady looked at He Xiyan and then at Chen Jiahang, who had been silent beside her the entire time. This couple of man and woman seemed to be quite intimate. Were they brother and sister?

No, they did not look alike at all. They couldn’t be brother and sister.

The landlady laughed out.

He Xiyan, however, was stunned there awkwardly. She took out her mobile phone then and tried to search on the map to see if there were any hotel nearby.
